The Dems participated in the Sequester ‘deal’ absolutely. And the Fox Ramirez News con of asking other people to accurately unpick THEIR latest doodle or half-factsed assertion, whilst they go off constructing something just as or more outrageous, is a grand-fun game to play in the papers. It’s got zero to do with actual governance, however; it happily guarantees further RepubliCon shrinkage next election.

Boehner and Republicans threw it, even took credit for it when it passed, and now claim THEIR “IED” was planted by the administration. It’s what makes it so funny (and sad) that the likes of our “righties” here always claim Obama lies.

www.washingtonpost.com has “The Manufactured crisis of sequester” by George Will;-http://online.wsj.com has “President Armageddon”—editorial 2/19/13;-http://pjmedia.com has “Let Sequestration Happen” by Tom Blumer, 2/22/13.-all 3 articles contain data and links to sources.Hysteria over reducing the growth in FY2013 budget of $3.6 Trillion of $85 billion….and the 2013 spending will still be higher than FY 2012. (2013 “cut” of 2.3% of the total)-the problem is the Obama policies of increased government employees, increased costs due to adding 17 million to Medicaid; billions in “bail-outs”; etc etc etc.-Obama just got a $160 Billion tax hike in 2013 that will harm the economy; but claims the sequester 2013 “cuts” in an increased budget (higher than 2012) will trigger recession!(technically, the "recession of 2007-2008 ended June 2009…but if the current economy is “recovery” it is not in agreement with the historical record of past recession/recovery numbers!

I always love reading the comments on Ramirez cartoons. Just when I think Democrats can’t get any more ignorant, I’m proved wrong. How do you people who believe the garbage out of the White House press office function through a whole day? It’s a wonder you don’t kill yourselves stepping off a curb.

About Michael Ramirez

"Editorial cartoons should be smart and substantive, provocative and informative. They should stir passions and deep emotions. Editorial cartoons should be the catalyst for thought, and frankly speaking, if you can make politicians think, that is an accomplishment in itself."
